Computer video compensation
The.video.compensation.for.connected.computers.is.achieved.using.the.main.
menu..Although.the.compensation.can.be.applied.from.any.local,.remote.
or.global.user.port,.it.is.best.achieved.using.the.local.user.port.because.this.
provides.the.most.direct.view.of.the.computer.output..The.compensation.
is.achieved.simply.by.registering.the.link.cable.length,.however,.different.
cables.can.vary.in.their.characteristics.so.it.is.often.useful.to.‘fine.tune’.the.
compensation.by.eye.
Note: CATx cables below 10m give very little loss and so it is not normally
necessary to be concerned about setting any computer video compensation if
short CATx cables are being used between the AdderView CATx and the CAM
for each computer..
To apply computer video compensation
1. Place.a.computer.(connected.via.its.CAM.and.category.5,.5e.or.6.cable).into.
the.highest.resolution.video.mode.at.which.it.will.be.used.
2. If.possible,.use.a.monitor.and.keyboard.connected.to.the.AdderView.CATx.
local.user.port..
3. Display.the.AdderView.CATx.main.menu.and.use.it.to.select.the.appropriate.
computer.
Note: You must highlight the computer name and press to select it.......
4. Display.the.AdderView.CATx.main.menu.again.
5. Press. .to.access.the.compensation.feature:
Ensure that the appropriate computer is
marked by the arrow - if it is not marked,
the computer is not correctly selected and
the compensation will not be applied.
The value in the green area indicates the
currently selected cable length.
6. Use. .and. .to.increase.or.decrease.the.stated.cable.length,.as.required.
. Note: As you adjust the Length value, check the video image for signs of
under- or over- compensation, especially to the right hand side of any hard
vertical edges of images.
7. When.the.correct.compensation.has.been.applied,.press. .to.quit.the.
screen.and.save.the.settings...
